Hill Residential has no objections to this policy, subject to any mix required reflecting the most up to date evidence and the policy being sufficiently ‘flexible’ to respond to any changes in the evidence base or the approach of affordable housing providers at any point after the policy adopted.

Deeley Homes supports policies which provide support to the delivery of specialist housing, including housing for older people. The NPPF (December 2024) states that these specialist types of housing should also have a need identified within the Local Plan and this need should be positively planned for with site allocations. We do not however consider that this is always best integrated into large scale allocations, as the needs are often dependent on local context and circumstances. We consider that these policies should be flexibly worded to encourage the delivery of specialist accommodation to address a specific and identified local need.

The need for affordable, family and retirement homes is very clear and should be a priority. A mixture of sizes and types are needed in each area, so that older folk can downsize, releasing family homes, whilst staying in their community

There should be more emphasis on flats above retail. We should avoid developers building excessive top-end houses due to their higher profit margins. We need 15-minute communities. All houses should have easy access to train and bus services.

While in principle I can see that there is a need for additional housing within Warwickshire I have serious concerns as to how the proposed plans will be workable. Existing infrastructure is severely lacking with the only viable transport routes being possible were there to be widespread destruction of the environment. Schools; Sport and recreational facilities; Health care facilities, digital infrastructure; energy, water and waste management) would also be a concern. The proposed developments will lead to merging parishes which is at odds with protecting and enhancing our environmental assets a key objective 12 in SWLP assets.

There is a significant need for specialist elderly accommodation which should be recognised within the SWLP and in order to meet these needs, sites should be identified in sustainable locations and be allocated to meet specialist elderly housing needs. Deeley Homes strongly encourages the Councils to incorporate this as part of the next stage of the plan making process.

New developments must include local infrastructure and public transport to ensure that CO2 emissions are reduced in line with declarations and ambitions. The ambitions need to be consolidated.
As suggested by Stratford Climate Action, homes should be both of minimum and maximum sizes for purchase, energy and equitable equality.

The South Warwickshire Councils are justified in their approach to housing mix and tenure as it reflects the ambitions of Paragraph 63 of the NPPF, and the NPPF as a whole. The Councils should ensure they provide flexibility within their housing mix and tenure policies to account for circumstances where delivering a housing mix in-line with the identified mix is not feasible or logical.

The area of Kenilworth is already over run with multiple new housing developments in recent years. The current schools, dentists, GP, nurseries, parks, car parks etc are over run as they are. Bringing more to the town will make this beyond breaking point. Flooding the area with more new build houses will flood Kenilworth with cheap housing and de value the area. Kenilworth is a well regarded town, and the current new developments need to settle before bringing any more at all.
More housing developments will be extremely negative to the town and MUST NOT happen.

We strongly support the increased provision of affordable housing, both from the perspective of NHS staff who are unable to afford homes in the districts where they work, and also to support patients who are living in unsuitable accommodation.

We would seek further dialogue with the Councils on potential ways to ensure that new communities are designed in a way that is attractive and convenient as well as affordable for working-age people and families who wish to live and work within the district, in recognition of the need for more healthcare professionals working in the districts to deliver services.

Respondent: St Philips

Agent: Lichfields (Birmingham)

St Philips agree that planning policies should reflect the housing needs of different groups, including those needing affordable housing, as outlined in the NPPF. Evidence must underpin these policies, ensuring clarity and economic viability. The SWAs have yet to specify affordable housing requirements, which should be tested through a Viability Assessment to maintain the Local Plan's deliverability. St Philips support incorporating a viability caveat in the affordable housing policy, allowing flexibility for developers in response to changing economic conditions, as emphasised in the NPPF.

Respondent: Cala Homes (Cotswolds)

Agent: Lichfields (London)

Cala generally agrees with Draft Policy Direction 10. This reflects NPPF paragraph 63 and it is important that the needs of current and future occupiers in respect of tenure and types of homes are catered for. Cala supports the approach of having regard to the latest evidence but recommends flexibility in policy to account for new evidence, changing needs and site-specific characteristics.

There is no specific target level set in the document. This is critical for determining the viability of schemes. NPPF Paragraph 35 states that Plans should set out contributions and Paragraph 72 states that policies should have regards to viability. Cala supports the approach of undertaking a viability assessment prior to Regulation 19 stage and it is important to test different affordable housing levels as part of this.
